Chatham Senior See Sneak Peek Of School Musical

CHATHAM, NJ - The Chatham Education Association and the CHS Music Boosters hosted a full dress rehearsal performance of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" for Chatham's senior citizen population last Wednesday at Chatham High School.

Based on the 1831 novel by Victor Hugo and songs from the Disney animated movie, it tells the story of deformed Notre Dame bell ringer, Quasimodo, who longs to be "Out There" among the local Parisians. After escaping the tower where he has been held captive by the overbearing archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, Quasimodo finds himself treated cruelly by everyone but the beautiful and enchanting gypsy Esmeralda. Alas, he is not her only admirer. Competing with Frollo and the handsome Captain Phoebus, Quasimodo finds himself in a battle with Frollo to save the gypsies.

After the musical production, seniors were treated to an Italian dinner. The Chatham Education Association sponsored the dinner for approximately 95 seniors.
